After leaving the classroom, Tianyang and Lao Xu came to the parking lot of the college. Lao Xu was a little surprised when he saw the Red Moon sword hanging next to Tianyang's electromagnetic motorcycle.

Tianyang started the motorcycle: "Our weapons have been biometrically identified, and it will be useless if others take them. Besides, I don't think anyone would dare to take Nightcrawler's equipment casually."

Lao Xu shook his head: "I'm not surprised because of this, but because you brought the weapon out of the door. Brother, although we night walkers can carry weapons in the city, if you carry it around like this, it will inevitably attract some gossip.

of."

Tianyang shrugged: "So that's what you said, but I didn't pay attention. Something happened last night, so I felt it was necessary to carry it with me."

Lao Xu's eyebrows that were not too thick tightened slightly: "What happened last night?"

Tianyang briefly described the figure outside the elevator door.

Lao Xu reminded him: "You should report to the captain."

Tianyang scratched his head: "Actually, I'm not sure. It's possible that I'm overly concerned. If I bother the captain because of this, I think it's too fussy."

"You are right to say that, so be careful yourself." As he spoke, Lao Xu walked near a three-wheeled motorcycle, opened the door and got in.

The motorcycle looked like it had been used for a while, with some paint peeling off the outer shell, one of the lights seemed to be broken, and there were signs of patching on the tires.

It seems that Lao Xu does not have much money, otherwise with his status, he should be able to drive a better car.

Lao Xu stuck his head out of the window: "Let's go to my house. Don't get lost."

Tianyang laughed.

They are also night walkers, but the dormitories and apartments are not next to each other. In fact, the residential units in Shangcheng District are limited, especially for people like Tianyang who have been promoted to Shangmin, and they do not have their own properties in Shangcheng District.

Therefore, if Tianyang wants to move to Shangcheng District, he needs to apply, and Fortress will recycle some vacant apartments and re-register the property rights before allocating them to the applicants.

If Tianyang dies in battle and has no relatives, the house will be taken back by the fortress and transferred to the next applicant.

Even if you have relatives, the fortress will only give them a temporary stay period of three years. Once the period is up, if you cannot pay the contribution points stipulated by the fortress, you will still have to move out.

This is one of the rules of the fortress.

Arriving near Lao Xu's apartment building, Tianyang noticed that the building had been in use for many years. It was currently being renovated and repaired. On the west side of the building, there were shelves on the exterior wall, and workers were painting the shelves.

Moreover, there is no elevator.

Walking on the stairs, Lao Xu led the way: "The houses in our area have been built for more than 40 years, and they are almost as old as me. There have been plans to demolish and rebuild the city hall, but resettling the residents is a big problem.

, I put it off again and again, and this year I decided not to demolish it, but to renovate it.”

When they arrived on the fourth floor, Lao Xu didn't open the door, but rang the doorbell.

After a while, a young voice sounded on the intercom on the door: "Who is it?"

Lao Xu winked at Tianyang and said with a smile: "You guess."

A cheer sounded over the intercom: "Dad is back."

The door opened immediately, and a small figure rushed out from inside and jumped on Lao Xu.

Lao Xu picked her up and turned her around twice. Only then did Tianyang see clearly that she was a little girl of five or six years old.

Lao Xu rubbed his daughter's round face vigorously: "Mai Xiaomai, do you miss your father?"

"I want to, I really want to." The little girl hugged Lao Xu's neck and kissed him hard on the face. The sound was so loud that the whole corridor could hear it.

Lao Xu picked up his daughter and said to Tianyang in a somewhat ostentatious manner: "This is my daughter, Xiaomai. Isn't she cute?"

The corner of Tianyang's mouth twitched slightly: "It's quite cute."

Lao Xu laughed happily and said to his daughter: "Call me brother."

The child named Xiaomai called out in a babyish voice: "Hello, brother."

"Old Xu, are you back?" A gentle female voice sounded from the door.

Lao Xu walked in with his daughter in his arms: "I'm back, Zijin, we have guests today. Well, Tianyang, come in quickly, don't just stand outside."

Tianyang entered the house with a smile and saw Lao Xu's wife.

She is much younger than Lao Xu, has long hair tied up, wears an apron, and looks like she is cooking.

She stood by the window, with a gentle smile on her face, and said to her husband with some complaints: "You don't inform me first if there are guests. I will cook two more dishes. You can sit down with your friends first."

Lao Xu had a look of enjoyment on his face. After his wife entered the kitchen, he took Tianyang and walked into the living room: "We will have something to eat later. You sit down for a while and I will get you a book."

Leaving Tianyang and his daughter behind, Lao Xu got into the room.

The little girl kept staring at Tianyang curiously: "Brother, why is your hair silver?"

Tianyang scratched his hair and said, "Well, it's a long story."

The little girl took two steps back warily: "Mom said that boys who like to dye their hair are brats. Brother, are you?"

Tianyang was a little bit dumbfounded.

"I don't know about others, but your brother Tianyang, I can guarantee that he is definitely not a gangster." Fortunately, Lao Xu came back again, with a thick book in his hand, which he placed in Tianyang's hand.

.

Xiaomai hugged Lao Xu's legs and said with a smile: "I believe dad, then I will make friends with you."

Tianyang was amused by the little girl, and then looked at the book in his hand.

"Analysis of Inverse Boundary Texts".

Lao Xu patted the book and said, "This is a good thing. You have to return it to me after reading it."

It can be seen that Lao Xu cherishes this book just as he cherishes this happy family. Tianyang suddenly understood why Lao Xu had so many worries in the adverse world.

It's simple, because there are people in the fortress waiting for his return.

After two meals at Lao Xu's house, Tianyang spent an afternoon helping him install and paint a wooden horse.

At eight o'clock in the evening, he said goodbye to Lao Xu's family and drove back to his apartment alone.

This time Tianyang didn't take the elevator, he took the stairs instead. When he reached the floor of the house, Tianyang held the Red Moon Saber tightly.

But tonight, there was nothing unusual in the corridor, and there was no feeling of being watched.

He opened the door and entered the house, sat on the chair in the living room, and put the sword aside.

After resting for a while and getting ready to take a shower, a ray of evening breeze ruffled Tianyang's hair.

The young man walked towards the bathroom. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped. Then he returned to the chair as fast as lightning, and the Chiyue sword was unsheathed!

The window is open.

But he remembered that when he left in the morning, he had closed all the doors and windows tightly.

Tianyang silently came to the window and touched the window sill with his hand. There was no mark on the window sill, but there was a strange feeling in the palm of his hand. He turned it over again and found a few gravels stuck to his hand.

The boy stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly. It was very salty, just like the sand on the beach that has been washed by the sea for many years.
